Another Domino Falls For Broncos; John Fox Is Out As Head Coach

Hours after Adam Scheffer’s report that Peyton Manning played with a “torn quad” comes news of perhaps more significance for Manning’s professional future – John Fox is no longer the head coach of the Denver Broncos after mutually deciding to part ways with the team on Monday.

Fox’s move is a highly intriguing one. “Deciding to part ways” is a nice way of saying “hey, we want you to leave but we’ll be nice about it.”

The departure of Fox also left the door open for the entire Broncos coaching staff as well. Today they were reportedly told that they are still under contract but feel free to explore other coaching opportunities.

Member of the Broncos coaching staff tells me that the entire staff has been notified during group meeting that can/should “look elsewhere."
